For those who’ve come in late, a video on Papon's
Facebook timeline showed him celebrating Holi with the contestants of The Voice
India Kids, a show which the singer judges. He is seen applying gulal to one of
the female contestants and then he kisses her, allegedly by force. The girl looks
uncomfortable as Papon forcefully tries to kiss her on the lips.
Last evening, Papon in his defence wrote an open letter claiming that he feels blamed for no fault of his.While his lawyer Gaurang Kanth said on a TV channel that Papon "only gave a peck" and it was "his way of showing affection".

Meanwhile, the girl's parents have refused to lodge a complaint against Papon, and instead issued a statement that said the singer is "a mentor and a father figure to my daughter, and has always encouraged her to pursue her dreams... What you saw in the video is not intentional. It was just a moment of affection that is being portrayed otherwise".
